General Discussion

So I am riding fairly steadily at 29 kms per hour with a RPM of 77 but my W is only 77, how do I increase my watts…Tire size??

What trainer do you use.

Train.

To answer your next question, Google. Simple training techniques will give you huge gains initially.

After that, tailored training programs (TrainingPeaks, Zwift, etc) or hire a coach.

You can go 30km/h on 80W? Is that at a slight downhill?

Do you know from outdoor cycling that the W is too low for the perceived effort?

Nicklas…what is your trainer setup?

I have a Tacx Flux S (power source Stages L) and have no problems, just wondering about that power/speed combination

I think the watts look low for the indicated speed.
I assume you’re not going downhill in the example.
I note the cadence and watts are the same.
I’d say something is funky but you would have to post a description of your complete system and describe the behavior and how it worked previously.

I think the watt/cadence is just a coincidence since they come from different ANT+ profiles/sources. If the watts are way of based on perceived effort it probably is a setup problem with an on-wheel trainer
